Started at Mardley Heath where there's a nice little carpark off the A1 and ran clockwise. Lovely varied route, mostly rolling agricultural hills and a few narrow lanes. No water on the route so carried 2.5 litres. The weather stayed cool in the end so finished with quite a bit of left. Training with mandatory race kit too so the bag felt heavy! Was a little boggy and very overgrown in places but never for extended lengths. I was expecting the River Beane section to be worst but that was fine and very runnable. Mostly well signposted but the STOOP Link signs are the same colour as the STOOP so need to pay attention!
